This is some crazy fucking stuff. You must read this report from Wired. It's got sex (sort of), Epstein as a Trump admin insider, and other unexpected things.

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

We used to disappointment and accepting that an idiot keeps getting rewarded instead of held accountable. Still, it feels like we may be in a rare dam breaking moment.

PANIC SETS IN Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Todd Blanche, and others, plan on holding an EMERGENCY MEETING today on the Epstein Files as the discharge vote nears. Rep. Boebert will reportedly be there. It appears there is an all hands on deck effort to try to prevent a vote on the Epstein Files. (CNN)

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

All because an idiot in the White House doesn't want to give in an let cowards in Congress vote so people don't lost their insurance...

To every Trump voter on SNAP, you hear Republicans calling you lazy, right? They’re saying you’re fat and that you don’t work. That’s YOUR party. They’re letting you starve while accusing you of asking for handouts you don’t deserve. Did you vote for that?

It’s the Oval Office, reimagined as a Spirit Halloween pop-up for aspiring autocrats. Every inch screams “What if Louis XIV discovered QVC?”

I did not expect that we would save US Democracy from a fascist idiot by weaponizing sandwiches as well as blowup frog and raccoon costumes. But, now that it's a thing, it kind of makes perfect sense.

So, is MAGA Mike Johnson ever going to work again, or is he just going to keep humiliating himself by holding these weird press conferences every day? Trying to starve Americans and take away their health care to protect those in the Epstein Files certainly is a choice.

You will not find a sadder post on the internet today.

Black farmers have always gotten shafted in this country. I feel his rage 🔥🔥🔥

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Corporate media is in a bad place.

Trump’s Latino problem: the fall that could save democracy.

This is the most ceaseless cease fire.

BREAKING: At least four Palestinians have been injured following an Israeli air attack on a car in Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp, al-Awda Hospital told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/b2212k

The idiot goes to Asia. They can keep them if they want.

National debt over $38 trillion!

More of this keeps happening. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

An honor to receive the endorsement of of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter. I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January * 100s starved to death, including kids * Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel * US citizens murdered in the West Bank I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Johnson compared his plight today to Obama’s when the President said he would not be held hostage by Dems.

Trump and his family are praised in Israel today while his sycophants at home today roll out their new stupid shutdown narrative.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

Donald is going to go batshit angry. He won't comprehend that this remarkable person risks he life daily to restore and promote democracy. He will on comprehend "Venezuela" and that she's a brown woman and he will explode. Norway, get ready for a 200,000% tariff. 😂😂

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I think the key takeaway from today's hearing with Bondi is that she would not deny that there are Epstein related pictures of Trump with naked young girls.

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

WE HAVE GOT TO GET THIS DONE ON BEHALF OF AMERICA!

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Trump Administration is now promising to use the government shutdown to kill Virginia jobs. It's outrageous.

How is this sustainable?

The illegal release of my records to Jack's campaign ally is now under federal investigation. Jack needs to cooperate fully with investigators and reveal the full extent of his campaign’s participation in this illegal action. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Let me get this straight: Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump called our highest ranking military officers away from their posts on the eve of a government shutdown to trash women and disavow the laws of war that help protect our service members when they fall into enemy hands?

How humiliating for the United States military

If this is how Jack treats a proud Navy veteran, imagine what he would do to you. Watch:

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

What a joyous and vibrant evening in Jersey City last night! Wishing everyone a happy Navratri and wonderful celebration of the triumph of good over evil.

When Jack tells you that he will keep your kids safe and healthy, don’t believe him. Rallying with Scott Presler, support from anti-abortion organizations, and now sharing the stage with an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist? You are the (right-wing extremist) company you keep, Jack.

The simple things are feeling out of reach for too many people these days. When governor, I'm going to make sure New Jersey is a state where everyone can afford a shot at the American Dream.
